Unfortunately it's not a good first effort. I would suggest you look at good dinner pics and try to emulate them. I can always tell an inpromptu dinner pic because the presentation is random.

Too much open space on that plate.

Fork to reflective/not tactical.

Was going to say,  "a steak should cover half your plate'. But since it is game and

you probably harvested it yourself, ARFCOM rules state - you killed it, cooked it, and

ate it, automatic 10.

no napkin
plate is too empty
not enough meat
more butter/chives/gravy on potatoes

still i'd give it a 7/10

To clarify, I killed it.  I grilled it.  There was  a lot more steak that wasn't shown in the picture, that was just the first serving.  My mistake not including it all

I'm in college, so no tablecloths exist, we were out of paper towels so I didn't use a napkin (not that I needed one), and the table is old and gross.  My roommate brought the table, I think he found it in or near a dumpster.

-1 for overly reflective fork
-1 for no napkin
-1 for table and chairs stolen from Arby's
-1 for bacon wrapped elk looking like an overdone pork chop chip
-1 chili has way to many beans in it
-1 for instant mashed potatos

+1 for first try effort

5/10

If i had a nickel for every pixel in this photo, I would almost have enough for a cup of coffee

Wasn't chili, it was beans.

Mashed potatoes were not instant.

The steaks were a little burned on the outside.  I stepped away from the grill for a minute and when I got back the bacon grease had caught fire and charred the hell out of the steaks.  I have a small and shitty grill.  The inside of the steak was still a good medium-rare.

This. I should dock off another point for the lack of a napkin (heathen) but since you killed n grilled it I guess you get an automatic 10/10.. good show OP.

A manly setup all around. No better proof than all the girly man haters here.

Modest but effective portion: Real men don't eat like pigs.
No napkin: Redundant if you already have a sleeve.
Knife win: All you need and plenty money left for ammo.
Gun win: Not showy or tacticool, just good kill guns.
Extra man points for bacon and no gay imported beer.

A napkin really is what separates us from them.  I will disagree and say that this nice simple first presentation is good.  You didnt over reach and get too fancy.  Well done sir.

I shot it last August outside Greer, AZ.  For the past couple years Arizona has had a special hunt in part of unit 1 to help get a herd of elk off of a farm in the area that they hit pretty hard.  The funny thing is, the wolf pack in the area as of last summer had hit the elk herd really hard, and the elk are not doing well.

I shot her at about 7am from about 80 yards away.  The bullet was a 150gr. Nosler Accubond out of a .30-06 moving at about 2900 fps at the muzzle.  I went through the near side shoulder blade and ribcage, through the heart, out the far side rib cage and the bullet got stuck on the far side shoulder blade.

I don't have any pictures of the elk, as our camera battery was dead that morning

I have the bullet that I found in her though, I could upload a picture of that.
